a e (Five stars)

The oldest synagogue in Europe that is still in use on weekly basis,
When services are not held it's open from visitors, you will be guided by a audio guide through the historical majestic architecture of hichal and the gallery the
and to my opinion the most interesting of all is the treasures in the basement where you can see and get impressed of the rich culture of the Portuguese Judaism

Was really nice historical exhibit
but in the end when I saw this I got really shocked, they put out a grave marker on display !! To show that the poor ppl used wooden graves markers.
A grave marker should stay in cemetery even if we don't know the exact original location, he deserves a memorial in the cemetery,
this was done all over Europe with all gravestones the natzis have thrown down, they ware replaced somewhere in the cemetery,
imagine you walk in and you see your grandfather's gravestone in a museum or yours in a few hundred years just because we don't know who are the grandchildren of this poor Jew we don't need to give him his deserved respect? I don't even understand how the government is allowing this shame hope they will release this memorial to it's original place soon
